Today, I did an unplanned 15hr fast. I will lift later tonight (arms). I have a 5lb water balloon from TOM. I am 148 today! WHATEVER!!
I am starting the countdown April 1!! Then, it's TOTAL Body Recomp for me!

SEAL: Thx for the compliment! I was only running and doing BodyRock up until February of this year. On Feb 6, I started lifting. All of my weight was lost running. I haven't been able to concentrate on loosing any more since I have to eat so much to train for this 1/2 Mary!
1200 cals didn't cut it!!

Hello all. I just joined yesterday and I am definately a calorie counter. I need some accoutability. I'm on Spring Break this week, so sticking to a healthy lifestyle is easy, but I'm worried about next week when I return to work. You guys do look great. Hopefully, I can get back into shape within the next 6 months and start feeling good about myself again.
3/25: 1640
3/26: 1560
I can do this!!!

Only got 4 hrs sleep last night and am totally feeling it today. Hope that doesn't weaken my resolve and I end up eating more than I should. I could seriously do some damage right now. No clue on what to make for dinner tonight. Story of my life!

I took an hour and a half nap this afternoon. omg, other than when I'm sick I've never done this. The dogs had better not pull the same nonsense tonight that they did last night.

s: greek yogurt and the last 2 slices of leftover london broil - 250
s: cup of coffee and one cookie - 100
d: don't know yet . . . maybe a lean cuisine or just some cheese and crackers. Will likely end up with a total of 1500-1600. I just can't seem to stick to that 1300-1400 cal range for some reason. Literally get too hungry.

In the past, I always cut my calories so low, that it was not long lasting or even possible. I'm sticking between 1500 to 1600 calories per day and I feel I can stick to this.

I am here!!! man, I haven't logged in to myfitnesspal for a week, so I guess that is how long I have been not paying attention!!! I have walked though and am up to walking 3.5k (a bit over 2miles?) but stopped the 30DS for my knees sake!!!

Well, as of this morning I am down to 208.2lbs!!!LOL!! Though Saturday I must have ate something not too good and got a slight case (if there is such a thing) of food poisoning.... I don't think there is a smilie for that issue, the ups and ends of it all was not good!! then Sunday I basically was in bed all day and had only sprite and white bread WHEN I could. Monday,had a little bit of stuff here and there, but wow!! Tuesday was better but didn't have much of an appetite then either. We were out of town at a relatives wedding and all this hit me AFTER the wedding thankfully! We came home Tuesday.

So, it will be nice if I can keep that 5lbs off!!LOL!! maybe I needed that fast (K9....fasting looks good and useful now!) every so often. Just hoping that kick jumps something.

BUT I did get some protein shakes mix, which I started today for breakfast (being sick I went two days without my breakfast and out of town I think 4 days without my bad 640calorie breakfast! so maybe it was good for me!). I also got Salsa which is only 10 calories for 2 tablespoons!!LOVe it.

So, as for 1:15 pm today:
B: protein shake (made with oat milk powder as well) 290
L: salsa and tortilla chips: 300
SN: will go buy some fruit
D: I have no idea what to have tonight!

Ex: 4km (goal), 50 regular crunches, 50 reverse, 3 sets of 12 reps of 3 arms exercises (this is all my goal!!!)
Water: 50oz so far.....goal of 84oz
K9: you look great!!!! I should take pix but not wanting to show ANYONE!!

b; 3 tbs egg beaters mixed with half an egg and about a tableapoon of tiel (TURKEY lol!!! my kindle auto corrected it to tiel... NO i didnt hve my tiel for breakfast) breakfast sausage (it was left over from moms breakfast), on a tortilla

s; not technically a snack but I had to have 4 glucose tabs for low sugar (I have type 1 diabetes. I hadn't taken a shot since the day before which was amazing to me and even more so that my sugar was still DROPPING)
